12/13/2024 Our son is 7 weeks old and had upper lip, tongue and bilateral cheek/ buccal ties. This was a 1.5 hour drive each way for us from Gainesville but we heard great things about Dr. Gary from a friend who had her daughter’s frenulectomy done here a few years prior.
I am grateful we were able to be worked in after I called as I filled out a new patient packet a few weeks prior and then again the day before. I was promised a call back and we were able to go in for a same week appointment as they had a cancellation. Once we arrived, we checked in and filled out the new patient pack and were taken back within 15 mins of our appt time.
Dr. Gary was able to explain the procedure to us and aftercare/ what to expect. Topical analgesia was applied and he was swaddled and then the procedure performed in less than 5 minutes with dad and I able to stay in the room which we chose to do. We then went to a room to feed/ nurse after. The practice is very busy so we waited about 45 mins after the procedure to see Dr. Gary again before paying and leaving.
I am glad we were able to have the procedure performed while he is still this little. The CO2 laser makes this quick and with very minimal post-op issues at all! Unfortunately, I don’t know that I have seen a drastic difference in baby’s ability to feed and some of the issues I was concerned about but we are 24 hours after. That is nothing against the procedure or Dr. Gary though! Every baby/ child will have different results.
I will also say that of no fault to the practice, they cannot bill major medical so if you do not have dental insurance, you can request a form with appropriate ICD 10 codes to submit your insurance yourself. It was a little over $600 for the evaluation and all 4 ties. If you have questions concerning finances, I’d recommend calling the office as they were very transparent and helped to make that process very easy. We chose to do all 4 that day and cash pay as no dental insurance for our baby yet.
I definitely do recommend Dr. Gary And the practice as a whole. Pain control four hours after was difficult so I would recommend Being proactive with medicating. They do give you recommendations for homeopathic options with your discharge planning. One recommendation would be to provide that in an email prior to the appointment so parents could plan ahead to buy those options rather than have to go to the store or wait for online orders.
Additionally, Dr. Gary was very informative on educating how to perform exercise/stretching and even offered an appointment for follow up in one week for a recheck if needed. Given that it is a long drive each way and the exercise exercises seems straightforward to me, we will likely not return, but I can see that this would be beneficial for parents with concerns.
If your child has a lip, tongue or cheek tie, I would absolutely recommend sooner evaluation and seeing Dr. Gary. Victoria Kaminski Google
12/09/2024 This place is amazing, as always! My children have been going here since they were old enough to see a dentist. They have always enjoyed returning for their cleanings. Recently, my son needed a baby tooth extracted in the back. We went through the process and the only one traumatized was me! LOL They took care of him beautifully; it was amazing. He still loves going and that says a lot. We love Myers!!! Patricia Irwin Google
